Great to see Pat bring his professionalism to the us open. I'm very confident that some of the best us opens are yet to come now that there will be a sense of security.
Did the entry fee go up or was it always that high?

Deducting 30 percent of winnings from foreign players and paying it to the IRS for them?
Do other venues in other countries do the same? I don't get that. They've invested thousands for a CHANCE to win. I don't get it and I don't like it

Yes. That is the legal way to pay out non US Citizens without a ss number. The BCA has done that in their international pro events as well as the WPBA. The foreign player will have to file a non-resident tax return next year to receive a refund.

This is also how racetracks pay taxable winnings of a certain size to foreign ticket holders. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
Thank you Fran. I guess it won't be a shocker for them. I expect the KO boys will file a tax return next year
This is a very good development and kudos to Pat for stepping up.
However, shouldn't it be clear that if the $75,000 in added money doesn't materialize and/or the WPA points are cancelled, the players have the option of getting their entry fee back?
Gideon<----Hopes the US Open can be saved
This was in Barry's release:
Every 5 years starting this year, all U.S. Open past active champions will pay no entry fee under one condition only; they all must proudly wear their green jackets prior to each match they play with no exceptions. This is all I ask.
thank you, Pat! (and good luck with this....) :happydance:
so the cut-off on "payout $" is JUL 23? and it's back up to $1000 entry? what month was it last year, that they CHANGED the entry to $750...?
the Contract w/ the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside is/(was) '30days prepaid'.

I missed this story Johnnyt.
Thanks for posting it up. REP to you my man! (And Pat Fleming too for shoring up one of America's most prestigious tournaments).
